Over the course of his nearly 30-year acting career, Donald Faison has played both film and television roles. He was born to perform; it’s in his DNA.
At age 5, Faison was enrolled in New York City’s Children’s School for the Development of Intuitive and God-Conscious Art and began performing in television advertisements. His parents were both employed by National Black Theater.
Following his 1992 acting debut in “Juice,” Faison went on to appear in minor roles in films including “Clueless” and “Waiting to Exhale.”
After appearing in a few TV shows as a guest, such as “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” and “Felicity,” he finally got the job that would forever alter his life: Dr. Christopher Turk in “Scrubs.”
